Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The court shall appoint a guardian whose appointment will be in the best
interest of the minor. The court shall appoint a guardian nominated by the minor, if the minor
has attained twelve years of age, unless the court finds the appointment will be contrary to the
best interest of the minor.
(2) In the interest of developing self-reliance of a ward or for other good cause, the
court, at the time of appointment or later, on its own motion or on motion of the minor ward or
other interested person, may limit the powers of a guardian otherwise granted by this part 2 and
thereby create a limited guardianship. Following the same procedure, the court may grant
additional powers or withdraw powers previously granted.
